Dick Tompkins > This is George, a wild great blue heron who is a frequent visitor to the Seattle Zoo, but only at lunch time for the penguins.  George has been known to take fish away from the (much) smaller penguins if he is not included in the feast.  So there is now an understanding at the zoo:  feed George and the penguins do just fine.  It seems to work.
